Let’s not lose this momentum,” wrote Premier Iain Rankin in a tweet Friday morning.
Public health says one of the cases in the Central zone involves a staff member at Clarmar Residential Care Facility – a residential care home in Dartmouth, N.S.
In a tweet from Nova Scotia Health & Wellness on Thursday, it says the province has completed nearly 74,000 COVID-19 tests within a 5-day span – between April 25 and April 29.
“I can’t imagine how hard it is to manage your business during these cycles of opening and closings and I know you are frustrated” said Rankin.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been 2,427 COVID-19 cases in Nova Scotia.
“We are in a serious outbreak situation,” said Strang, during a live news conference on Friday.
As of Tuesday, 312,493 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered.
